I can do that too - I just need to install a double-size gas tank.

Midnight chillin' at A.M P.M.
Coolin' drinkin' apple juice
In Evil's BM
The sound's up loud
To attract attention
rmoraled tires
On a lowered suspension
Nardi to steer with
Alpine deck was glowin'
Bumpinn' Big Daddy
And the nigga was definitely flowin'
I was ridin' shotgun
Donald and Hen in back
Look thru the tint recognized a jack
Two brothers strolled up
Talkin' bout get out
Donald D blazed
Shot one fool thru his fuckin' mouth
Why would they step
When they know we're strapped?
I never cruise L.A.
Without a Gat in my lap
The other fool shot
Caut the E in the shoulder blade
I busted thru the ca door
That's where the nigga laid
Hen jumped out
Dropped two nines in his forehead
Evil was bleedin' bad
The car seats were turnin' red
Looked to my left
There were two more carloads
Niggas in hats and hoods
In an attack mode
And they hadn't yet begun to fight
E hit the gas
It was one past midnight!
We boned down Vernon
Right on Normandie
Left on Florence
Gettin' thru the E.T.G.'s
Spun out on Vermont
Made a left on Colden
Right on Hoover
E where we goin'?
He didn'T even answer that
Checked the reaar view
They were still out back
Where were these brothers from?
What made these brothers come
Bang! our back window
Was removed by a shotgun
Now Hen G was shot
Don caught a ricochet
These motherfuckers was ill
They didn't come to play
Bust a right turn, parked
and then we got left
Hid in the the bushes
Shot the gas tank to fake death
But would this really
Keep them psyched?
Three of us bleedin'
It was ten past midnight!
I really didn't like
How this shit was goin' down
Wrong night, wrong time
Wrong fuckin' part of town
Ya see we was deep
In the Hoover's hood
Three niggas bleedin'
That shit don't look good!
See over there red don't go
Some places red's all they know
But not our luck
Tonight we was real fucked
Borke down an alley
And we instantly had to duck
Fuckin' police on a gang sweep
No time to deal with one time
So we had to creep
Broke thru a back yard
Ran thru a vacant lot
E, Hen and Don kept up
To be some niggas shot
Shit was gettin' craazy
So I had to get busy
Hen was bleedin' worse
And Evil was gettin' dizzy
Looked in a parking lot
I needed a snatch bar
Had to hot wire
So I moved on an old car
It was a bucket, but fuck it, it had to do
Started it up
And scooped my whole crew
Two blocks later
We saw fuckin' blue lights
The pigs were behind us
It was half past midnight!
When they pulled us over
Shit got worse
I waited till they got out
And then I hit reverse
Fucked 'em up, I seen one cop fall
Threw it in gear, yo I'm outty yall
Don't know how
But somehow we got away
Lost the jackers, the cops
Dumped the G.T.A.
Made it back to the hood
Fixed the crew up
And even though Evil's car blew up
We made it home and then I crashed out
Thinkin' bout my all-night death bout
Then somethin' woke me up
From my dark sleep
The sound of fuckin' police
When they're tryin' to creep
Broke thru my door
With no goddamn warning
Looked at my watch
It was six in the mornin'!

"dangerously retrofitted" ...the hell? That is total crap. You know what was actually dangerous? The too long bolts on the Ford Crown Vics that pierced the gas tanks when the cop car was rear-ended. That was in the stock vehicle and the local mechanics had to grind them down for safety.

You know what had a big impact on crime and such in our city? Increased foot patrols, this way the police are more visible and you actually get to meet them face to face, instead of a pair of sunglasses driving around in a car.

Where's the gas tank?

seems like rising post device could rip a gas tank and blow it up

An operation like this requires 10-30 people, drilling holes in support columns and putting explosives in. For at least a few days.

Thousands of people working in the building wouldn't notice this? Tens of thousands wouldn't have noticed hundreds of men drilling holes in WTC 1&2 ? The amount of holes and wiring would be staggering. Also, if you've ever seen a demolition video you would know how loud they are. People saying "oh i heard a bomb" on video on the day in question can hardly be reliant witnesses, there was a lot of confusion and bomb sounds can very easily be gas tanks, something collapsing e.t.c. Also, to take down those big buildings you would need hundreds of bombs, making hundreds of bomb sounds. It's very clear in the videos that nothing of that sort is heard.

Also, "it" can refer to an "operation" .. salvage or rescue. I don't think he would talk so nonchalantly about it if he really ordered them to be "pulled".

My bet would be on that they knew the attack was coming, but didn't stop it. Controlled explosives or airplanes with lazer pods under them just doesn't cut it for me.

I even found a video supporting my case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43F54hR0NW8

i wanted to see the gas tank 'splode

Lyrics:

Mr. President, Distinguished delegates...

[H.I.M. Haile Selassie I dialect]

[Bunny Wailer dialogue]
Since the beginning of modern civilization
Generations have witnessed and inherited the only conflicts of world wars
But behold the marriage supper of the lamb and the bridegroom onto his bride
Then shall the earth's children know the true expression of ONE LOVE
Then mother earth shall honeymoon in peace.
Forever eliminating the aspirations, lust and anguish of wars and rumors of wars...SELAH!

[Verse 1]
See it deh know the innocent going up in vapors
And propoganda spreading inna the sunday papers not even superman coulda save you with him cape cause
Red-a Judgement a blaze, blaze ya
And Babylon a gamble the youth dem life like racehorse
And gi dem a uniform and a shave dem head with razors
And now the clock a strike war, don't be amazed cause
inna dem churches tryin to save...saviours

[Marcus Garvey dialogue 1]
Can we do it? We can do it, we shall do it!

[Verse 2]
Boom!
Tell dem fe uh draw mi out when the world government inna falling out
Only few men survive crawling out
Run left him collegues dem sprawling out
NEARLY DEAD!
Medic haffi haul him out
And give him two tranquilizer fi stall him out
DEH PON BASE!
Can't get no calling out when him hear from the shout last week
Him mistress find a new shoes
Wife can't get no news and lately she starting to doubt
SHE STILL SEARCHING!
And the youth dem bawling out
Working hard not to let it all come out
Well it's not safe to go walk about
A slaughterhouse from Bagdad to Waterhouse
She start to arouse sometime she want a spouse
She start go out, start beat a darker stout
GUNS COME OUT!
Working people funds run out
Keep a show last week and no one come out
BOMBS COME OUT!
Mi gas tank just run out
BOMBO CLATT!
The scotch tape just run out
WEED RUN OUT!
Yuh senses must dumb out, Mi have a pound round a back deh a gwan sun out

Till the malice bun out, A WAR!

[Marcus Garvey dialogue 2]
If you cannot do it, if you are not prepared to do it...then you will die.
You race of cowards, you race of imbosiles, you race of good for nothings
If you cannot do what other men have done
What other nations have done, what other races have done
Then you yourself shall die.

[Repeat Verse 1]

[Verse 3]
SEE IT DEH NOW...Hey!
Now wi fore parents sacrifice enough
Dem blood sweat and tears run like syrup
Any day a revolution might erupt, and the skys over Kingston lighting up
For the new generation rising up, of youths now a days weh dem sighting up
And through reasoning dem biding up,
Searching for the sign and the sign is us,
Searching for the truth all you find is us,
Searching for the troops still behind is us,
The almighty we recruit and we come from the root
We build like roach building boot
Weh just can't done, Rastafari we design tuff
If a the fight for freedom sign me up
Cause you Tell-Lie-Vision can't blind me up
Soldiers and police dem wising up, realizing they're no more right than us
Realizing there's no use fighting us
Realizing their opening their eyes to see the same demoralizing life as us
So we nah tek talk nor smiling up
Cause the word temper tantrum boiling up,and who...
Calling the shots and nah bust none
Controlling the mind of the young, bring down...

Bear famine, no rain nah fall from London to Dadeland mall
All the son of the virgin bawl, institute of the church IN WAR
Preaching and researching WAR
Practice and rehearsing WAR
Teaching and dem learning WAR
Instigating and urging WAR
Always keep alert in WAR
Cause man will jump out a swerving car
Now bees and birds IN WAR
And the freaks and nerds IN WAR
And the straight and curves IN WAR
Forward and reverse IN WAR
RED...IT RED...IT RED...IT RED...IT RED.

[Marcus Garvey dialogue 2]

What kind of idiot inspects a damaged gas tank using a lighter for illumination?

Apparently, this kind of idiot.

Well, with the price of oil hitting a new record of $135 a barrel, I think I'll use my money to stimulate my gas tank.

Look at the bright side.....after it's established that it was his fault and they fix your car, chances are good your insurance rates will go up anyhow-
Suggestion: Drop 5 large Snickers bars in his gas tank.

Mine is frikkin' $220 a month for full coverage, after a claim last year-prior to that it was about $140......scammage.

Aw, they cut the video just before he hits the gas tank and there's a MASSIVE explosion. Too bad, explosions always do well on VS!

the safety precautions on that battery are more than are on a regular gas tank of a car, even if it blows up, it will still stay in it's casing. the battery is also under warranty, so 5 years from now, when the battery dies, they will replace it.

Sorry maybe i wasn't specific enough. WTC7 did not have jet fuel fires, it had fires on 2 floors that were probably cause by debris and fueled by burning office equipment. Easily something the automated sprinkler system could have handled.

Please Mr Science, explain to me how a building as over engineered as the WTC7 building just collapses spontaneously at terminal velocity without controlled demolition explosives. As a fundamentalist religious type i need smrt people to explain things to me. And please dont tell me the fires reached a gas tank below the building because that doesn't scientifically explain the pancake collapse into its own footprint

i would hate that last name .... knoblauch! *thumbs down*

on a lighter note: i'm surprised she wasn't screaming at one of the butler's for having a car with an empty gas tank! what a ditz!!!!
